High temperature electrical properties and oxidation resistance of V-Nb-Mo-Ta-W high entropy alloy thin films

High entropy alloys (HEA) show outstanding thermodynamic, mechanical or thermal properties as compared with pure metals or binary alloys. Among several kinds of HEAs, the refractory element containing HEAs exhibit relatively high thermal stability and better mechanical properties at elevated temperature. In this study, the V19.2Nb19.4Mo20.3Ta19.5W21.6 high entropy alloy thin films were deposited on the AISI 304 stainless steel substrates by a...
